How Nitron Advisors can Help Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Companies to Increase Institutional Investor Interest

Are you a small-cap or mid-cap company, seeking to increase institutional investor interest and excitement about your firm?

Nitron Advisors is uniquely positioned to help you. We are the only expert network research firm to be a member of The National Research Exchange, the originator of Intermediated Research^SM. We together will educate institutional investors on your behalf about your company.

Briefly, our process is:

1) A Company seeking to increase institutional investor awareness hires The National Research Exchange to provide Intermediated Research^SM coverage. While public companies may engage NRE directly as a "sponsor" of coverage, managing underwriters, institutional investors, and advisory firms may all be sponsors as well. They can do this on behalf of a client company or to generate interest in one of their portfolio companies.

2) The NRE in turn pays several independent research providers, including but not limited to Nitron Advisors, to provide coverage of the Company. Nitron will introduce some of its prominent institutional investor clients to members of the Nitron Advisors Circle of Experts who have insight into the Company.

3) Nitron's experts can comment on questions such as the competitive landscape, economic models and operational processes in the sector, product/service quality as perceived by customers, etc. These insights are shared through one-to-one calls, in-person meetings or small events involving the expert and the institutional clients. The number and frequency of advisory sessions with investors can range from one to an ongoing, on-call relationship.

4) Nitron pays members of the Nitron Advisors Circle of Experts for their time and other contributions.

The NRE's proprietary platforms enable equity issuers and investment banks to systematically evaluate the competitive landscape of banking and research providers in order to mitigate the risks inherent in public offerings and ensure sufficient aftermarket research coverage. Their patent-pending technologies help companies to secure greater visibility and liquidity in the public markets, thereby lowering the cost of capital and improving shareholder value.

Nitron and the NRE have recently spoken at several investment industry events about the changing landscape for independent research. We spoke together at the New York Society of Security Analysts and the World Hedge Funds Summit.
